“Whilst gardens are a personal space, I believe they are also part of the wider environment. Increasingly it is imperative that they contribute to tackling, not adding to, the challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss. Good design, and an understanding of the principles that underpin it, can help to create the beautiful places we want to spend time in, while at the same time treading lightly and providing habitat for other creatures.” 

Based in Lincolnshire & Suffolk, Guy has been designing gardens and advising clients for more than 15 years throughout the East of England, and beyond, helping them to create their own green havens, from large country gardens to small town yards. Increasingly his focus is on providing advice and inspiration throughout teaching and on-site consultations.

Promoting gardens that are as sustainable as possible is a key focus, and exhibits at RHS Flower Shows over many years have demonstrated his environmental commitment – Hampton Court in 2010 (‘Human Nature’ – silver-gilt award), Hampton Court in 2009 (‘Coppice’ – silver award) and Tatton Park in 2006 (‘The Function Room’ – silver award). 

Guy has worked as a garden design lecturer at Nottingham Trent University, has been a tutor with Learning with Experts and delivers a range of talk & workshops at various venues including Doddington Hall (nr. Lincoln), Sheffield Botanical Gardens and RHS Harlow Carr (nr. Harrogate). He has also worked as a project manager for the BBC series Garden Rescue and, on occasion, contributed articles to a range of magazines including The Garden and the Garden Design Journal.
